I’m seeing some honest confusion from people asking why, if Biden is not running for re-election, he still is able to finish out his term. I wanted to share something I didn’t know before I ran for office myself — campaigning and governing are really two different jobs, and campaigning is MUCH more physically exhausting […]

I think I’ve mentioned that I sometimes work with a personal trainer. It’s particularly useful right now as my wrist heals — Liz Fairweather is great at coming up with modifications that let me keep pushing forward without aggravating the injury. She was amused by how hard-core I look here, because we’ve added a weight
We can’t let the backlash knock us down. Read More »
I know American national politics are on many people’s minds, and I haven’t been commenting on it. My take on it is pretty simple: Hang in there, peeps. It’s a long haul from Independence Day to November. Pace yourselves. (Pic is of a rose from my garden that was just blooming for the first time

Yes, I got up for an 8:30 a.m. iGov board meeting, which means getting up for a 6:30 a.m. board meeting, since I’m currently in CA. I feel I deserve kudos for that. I will accept showers of praise. 🙂 (Kavi suggested last night that I just show up and hang out with my screen

School board meeting 6:30 – 10:22, about four hours. A little long, but we’re trying to wrap up the end of the year, and we don’t meet as much in the summer, so it’s not unreasonably long. I think.

School board meeting was only 6:30 – 8 p.m. tonight — shockingly fast. I think we’re all tired. Of course, I then came home and spent the last hour discussing various aspects with Kevin, so it’s not as if I actually stopped thinking about it. Sigh.

Kavi’s home again after her bio research club’s presentation at MIT — it was a one-day trip, and they got in late last night. We’re proud of her hard work, of course, and Kavi said it went well. She’s currently thinking pre-med, so this was a great opportunity to see what it’s like to do
Kind of astonishing that a high school junior got to do this, actually. Read More »
Sat down on a bench before teaching, and read this sign — looking forward to our being able to put up something similar at the high school once Project 2 is completed. This is one of the things I’m happiest about working on for the school board — I won’t claim to deserve all the

School board meeting 6:30 – 11:30, five hours. (That’s about as long as the longest ones go.) I went through exhausted around 10:30 and entered hyper / punchy mode. Maybe if I eat something, I’ll calm down and be able to sleep. It IS mostly very interesting work. Challenging too. But worthwhile.

School board meeting, 6:30 – 8:50. One of our shorter meetings, and very pleased that we voted in the plan to put in geothermal power at the high school. Due in large part to recent additional federal incentives, this will actually end up saving the school a significant amount of money annually (as soon as
